Dear Valued Whaleback Community,
Together, we celebrated a truly remarkable year at Whaleback, one that reminded us what this mountain means to so many families. More than 500 children from three towns took lessons here this season, and we were proud to grant 100% of scholarship requests. We also saw the biggest Thursday Night Race League yet,We had over 1500 competitors at amazing on snow events, started a Kids race league that had almost 50 kids racing a fun race every week, Killer crowds and so many Saturdays that brought the best vibe in the valley, best Apres’, Largest Mug Club in pub history, Food, food, food as well as so much shared music, a sign of the energy, enthusiasm, and community spirit that continue to grow at Whaleback. Perhaps most importantly, thousands came to celebrated during the weekend of the reopening of the summit chairlift, a milestone that meant so much to everyone who loves this mountain.
These achievements were only possible because of your support, your belief in Whaleback, and the commitment of everyone who helped make this season a success.
Now we are looking ahead, and we need your assistance to keep this momentum going.
The repairs required to reopen the chairlift were significant and completely depleted our cash reserves. At the same time, we have Herculean tasks to complete in the Here & Now. We must get through the low-revenue summer months, complete annual maintenance on our lifts and snowmaking systems, and begin planning for an important next step: replacing the chairlift cable. These are not optional investments. Without them, Whaleback cannot remain open.
To meet these needs, we are asking our community—you—to help us raise a total of $350,000, half of which ($175,000) we need within the next month. It’s a big ask, we know, especially in today’s economy. But if Whaleback means something to you, please consider making a gift today. Every contribution, at every level, brings us one step closer to hosting another impactful ski season for skiers of all ages.
Thank you for standing with Whaleback. With your support, we will remain a vital partner in the beautiful community that is the Upper Valley.
